Up to 75% of contaminants in a cleanroom can be traced to human sources. Every person in the cleanroom has to comply with all the restrictions, or the entire room can be contaminated and multiple killer defects can be occur. To test for contamination and clean it up, turn to Texwipe products from SOS Cleanroom. Texwipe is a world leader in contamination control for cleanrooms. One such product is the TX1082 Vectra QuanSat 9’ x 9” Polyester Cleanroom Wiper Pre-wetter 100% IPA. These pre-wetted wipes reduce the need for handling bulk solvents and to maintain solvent squirt bottles.

Everyone who works in a cleanroom probably knows the procedure of entering a clean room by heart. But we thought we’d list the basic steps here for anyone new to this field.

Before you get to work

• Shower each day
• Control dandruff and dermatitis
• Do not smoke before (or after) entry
• No chewing gum or tobacco
• No cosmetics, jewelry or watches
